Not Warming up

Zero · 11-12-2007, 16:46

Since I've had the Octy it's always done it's warm up process in the mornings but the last 3-4 times I've started it from cold in the morning this hasn't happened. It's been below freezing and still nothing.

Any Ideas?

Cheers

Is this the pump that starts up for a minute, then dies off ?

i think so, sounds really weird then dies off after a min or so when first starts. I read the stuff on here before i go one so i know thats normal.

Strangely it did it this evening when i left work but didn't this morning when it was like -1 outside.

Does it mean the pump is on the way out? Also where is it, whats it called and how can i tell if it's on the way out?

Thanks in advance

I think it depends on the engine temprature.

I know if I use mine 1st thing in the morning, I hear the Pump, but then if i use it say about 1.00 i dont hear it.

If i park it at work at 8.00 then leave at 4.30 it does use the pump.

Depends on how long I leave the car undriven.

Hope that makes sense.

Yeah that's the same as mine, i think it went to do it this morning but then didn't.

Does anyone know where the pump is and what it's called?

I will give it a check this weekend when i get chance.
